Dry Fog Dust Suppression
Our Dry Fog Dust Suppression System works on the principle of agglomeration. Airborne dust particles (1-800 microns) passing through the system's micronic fog blanket collide and adhere together, increasing their mass until they settle back onto the main material being handled.
The system utilizes specially designed dual fluid nozzles that shear water into droplets matching the size of dust particles through resonance effect. This creates an extremely high probability of collision between fog droplets and dust particles, effectively controlling all types of breathable and fugitive dust.
Our technology ensures the fine droplets evaporate before wetting anything but the airborne dust, adding only 0.1% (maximum) water by weight to the material being handled. This "dry fog" approach eliminates problems associated with traditional wet suppression systems while maintaining optimal dust control efficiency.

Application Areas
Our Dry Fog Dust Suppression Systems are ideal for:
Conveyor Transfer Points
All conveyor transfer stations covered by skirts/hoods to protect from wind pressure and contain dust during material transfer.
Wagon Tipplers
Controls dust during unloading operations at wagon tipplers where significant dust is generated during material discharge.
Material Handling Plants
Effective dust control at various transfer points where dust becomes airborne during material processing and handling.
Covered Transfer Points
Any enclosed transfer point where airborne dust needs to be controlled while keeping material properties intact.
Key Benefits
No Material Wetting
Fine droplets evaporate after capturing dust particles, preventing material wetting and associated handling problems.
Health Protection
Effectively controls breathable dust particles, creating safer working conditions and reducing respiratory hazards.
Water Conservation
Minimal water usage (0.1% by weight) makes the system efficient and environmentally friendly compared to conventional methods.
Versatile Application
Controls dust particles ranging from 1 to 800 microns, making it effective for various industrial applications.
How it Works
Dual Fluid Nozzle Technology
Specially designed nozzles use resonance effect to shear water into droplets sized to match dust particles for maximum collision probability.
Agglomeration Process
Dust particles collide with similarly sized fog droplets, adhering together and increasing in mass through a series of collisions.
Particle Settlement
As the agglomerated particles gain mass, they become heavy enough to settle back onto the main material being handled rather than remaining airborne.
Dry Material Preservation
Fine droplets evaporate after capturing dust, preventing material wetting while adding only 0.1% moisture by weight to the handled material.
Effective Dust Control
Controls all breathable and fugitive dust particles from 1 to 800 microns through the agglomeration principle.
Minimal Water Usage
Adds only 0.1% water by weight to materials, preventing moisture-related handling issues.
Specialized Nozzle Design
Dual fluid nozzles create precisely sized water droplets through resonance effect for maximum dust suppression.
